The spirit woke up with his army part. It had been a long time since he had been called by his master. His master was the great one, the one who commanded him, and then he commanded his army, who commanded the other armies, who commanded the other armies, who commanded the-

"Stewezal!"

"Yes sir!"

"Did you hear what I said?"

"No sir."

"Well listen up!"

"Sorry sir."

His army snickered behind his back. He would need to give out whipping after he was done with briefing.

"There is a new radiant on the island."

There was some murmuring from the army.

"Shut up, you fools!"

Then there were some sorrys from the army.

"Now, I want you to take him out."

There were some noise from the army.

"Shut up and let me talk!"

They all suddenly went quite.

"But he is also has a dragon."

There were gasps from the army.

"Next one of you idiots who makes a noise will be sent back to the void!"

There was frozen silence from the army.

"That means he is one of the special, a dragon rider. But, he thinks its not good to have a dragon. So he hasn't told the elementals on the island. So, your job is to take the dragon for me for training. And while you are at it, destroy the island for me too. It's not good for humans to mix with magic. They might get too nosy. Dismissed."

Stewezal was dropped down a pipe. He landed in his old room. He got used to his physical shady form.

"Axehead!"

"Yes sir!"

"I want every man in the army to get a whipping."

"Yes sir!"

He started to head for Stewezal. Stewezal realized what Axehead had interpreted from his meaning. He also remembered that Axehead was the least brightest officer, or even shade, in the army. He barely got those thoughts in before Axehead got his whip barely missed his back.

"You idiot!"

"What's wrong sir?"

"Did you think I meant myself?"

"You're in the army."

"I said every man in the army, not myself."

"So you are stepping down from your spot?"

"NO!"

"Ok."

And he tried to whip Stewezal again.

"Forget it."

"Forget what?"

"The whipping."

"Ok. Would you still want the sugar?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, three years ago, you told me to get you coffee. I couldn't find the whip cream, because someone else was using it, so-"

"Are you saying someone was using my whip cream?"

"Yes, because it wasn't in the fridge."

"Hmm. I want everyone whipped."

"Okay sir. Decaf?"

"What are you, Starbucks? I want everyone whipped as in a whip."

"So no sugar? Or you want a cappuccino instead?"

Stewezal dealt with Axehead for another half-hour, and then just pushed him out of his room. How annoying it was to be supreme general. Sure, you get a really good pay and an awesome title, but you had to deal with really dumb shades and calls from families checking on their sons or fathers when they aren't even in combat. He then walked over to his evil board committee, which was making plans for attack.

"Okay, so what's the attack plan?"

"The attack plan is to attack."

This was the stuff Stewezal had to deal with. He was promised the best, but they acted like the worst

"More details please."

"So we were thinking of a Normandy beach invasion for style points, but then we thought that might not work because where the beach is and were the cave is covers the whole island. We thought of tropical hang gliding for the fun of it, but none of our men no how to hang glide and that might not be so fun. Then we came up with a supreme plan to dress up like we are going to a tropical party on the island, and then surprise them when they find out we are shades. I don't see anything wrong with that one."

The committee of evil all nodded enthusiastically like there was nothing wrong.

"You guys are the dumbest idiots I have ever met."

"Now we have the plans that we think are horrible."

Stewezal actually started to listen.

"We decided to have the spy specialists disguised as new people, and have them join as dark. then they go in at the middle of the night kill him and take the dragon. Then they open a portal which our forces can stream though and take the island. That doesn't sound fun."

"Now that is a good plan. I approve."

The spies were brought to him, and they showed their disguise. It was pretty good, it's just that their shadow was really long and the fact that they hated the light, which made it almost impossible to make them look like normal people. But that was okay. The three would be in the Dark element after all.

"Here are your instructions: You dress up as new kids. Then you belong to the dark element. Then you murder the kid and steal the dragon. You used this knife. Then you put the portal stone on the island. Then your job is done and you get increase payment."

He put the portal stone on the table. It looked like a normal stone, but it had veins of blue and orange running though it, looking like crystals. It was round, but not a circle. More like an oval if you looked at it from top down.

"But why do we have to use that knife? Why not poison or death by gummy bears? Or death by pillow?"

The other two nodded in agreement as if they knew what they were talking about.

"Because I want proof with blood! And who do you even kill some one with pillows or gummy bears?"

"You can d-"

"Never mind. Just do it however you want."

Stewezal decided that in case the idiots forgot to activate the portal, he would have the portal activate automatically in three days. That would give im time to watch the marathon of Phantom on TV. Also, he would get his men drilled and sharpen his sword. He went to get his onyx sword, Shilzer, and palmed it carefully. Then the idiot axehead came bumbling though with hot coffe and made him cut himself on his left hand with hot liquid over the cut. He ended up missing the marathon of Phantom that was running that night. At least it wasn't his right hand, the one he uses to do everything, like slapping stuipd officers and grabbing all of the leftover popcorn at home, then sneaking the kid's devices into his room so he could watch the TF2 tournaments. LG won that tournament.
